I woke up feeling a bit down.

But I'm choosing not to stay that way. Instead, I'm going to turn the day around, and make my life a better place to be always.

Yippppeee!!!

There are good deals.  And there are great deals.

Truth be told, most deals (good AND great), have become so commonplace that they’re almost a dime a dozen.

Everywhere you turn there’s someone offering something awesome at some stupidly low price.... sometimes even for free! (This isn't free, but it's such awesome value it's almost as good as free!)

Register here.

I love to take pictures of interesting, unusual and beautiful things I find when I go for a walk or run (more of the former than the latter lately due to colds and injuries).

I particularly enjoy mornings and have found ways to make them more joyful (six ways you can to it too).

Susan's update, January 30, 2013: honoring Margaret Moth on her birth date.

Susan's update, March 21, 2010: Margaret Moth, a woman whose courage almost defied belief, died today at the age of 59. While she would not have cried, I sit here with tears streaming down my face for the loss of a woman I never knew, but who deeply impacted me and countless others around the world.

I took a walk in the park at the edge of a Canadian city just before Christmas.

In the middle of the suburban wilderness, I came across a lone deciduous tree, a stone's throw away from a nearby thicket.

Someone (Santa's elves perhaps?), had decorated it with Yuletide exuberance and a motley collection of bits and bobs.
